Recycling your packaging into pretty ephemera!

[@artrinsicvaluesoflizhuey8493]

I’ve been saving Kleenex boxes. Some of the prints are quite nice so I’ll cut them down to tag size, or maybe use as an art journal book cover, or,or...So many options! Tfs.

[@AngelaKerrDesigns]

Liz Huey that is a lovely idea too Liz! Sometimes the prints are beautiful and they can be used as is! Thank you so much for sharing that idea as well as your support Liz 🤗💗💗

I treated my granddaughter to a film and a meal for her 16th birthday and bought chocolate limes from Wilkos to take in with us. It was a lovely time watching Little Women and eating tapas afterwards. Xx

I’m looking forward to watching this tonight. I have to say I’m really enjoying you being on holidays, because we are getting lots of videos! Thank you, I’m loving everyone of them, keep them coming! It’s too hot to do anything outside and at the moment its smoky outside with all the fires in Victoria. Take care jodie x Just watched now, beautiful! I just love your colours and style, thank you x

[@jeangreen1810]

We have been watching the reports here in the UK about the devastating fires which have left so many people homeless. My heart goes out to you all. Praying for a drop in temperatures soon. If only the politicians had listened to the scientists 20 years ago! 🤗🙏

[@jodietrinderlloydwebb8360]

Jean Green thank you, this time we are not in the fire line, they about 120km away, but almost 11 years ago they were less than 10 mins we could see it coming. It just so heartbreaking for everyone involved here. Xx

[@tamielizabethallaway2413]

Yes it was me who asked about seam binding! It's just hard to find so many lovely colours at a great price! I'd rather buy a whole card of each colour direct from manufacturer, but it's not something we use much in the UK, so the next option is people who buy in bulk and then sell a couple of metres for a 1000% profit! I hate it when sellers do that! Fair enough make a profit, but don't take the piss! Lol! I got 200 metres of lace for £8!!! Obviously that's a ridiculous bargain, and a lucky find! It just annoys me when some people get the whole reels of ribbon etc from China, the ones that are £3 for 50m or so, then sell the same ribbon at £1 a metre! And a lot do the same for seam binding as well! Anyway that's my pet peeve for today! 😂 Good luck Abi, you'll soon be back to normal! Just cuddle up with mummy for the next couple of days while you recover! Wish I was having a hysterectomy! Smudge is my baby too, I love my pooch so much, I hate that he's getting older! I just had a nice rub of his belly and now he's trotting around with his "baby", his favourite, beaten up, teddy bear, called Justin Beaver... Cos... It's a beaver! And I thought the name was funny! 😁😁😁

[@AngelaKerrDesigns]

Tami Elizabeth Allaway thank you so much dear Tami! I feel the same way about the seam binding! Most of mine I get on sale, but even that is expensive. I am looking at getting it in myself. Maybe dying the colours I like too. Abi’s appointment was rescheduled for next month. So we both got some respite! 😂 thank you for your support and encouragement! 🤗💗🌸🦋

Thanks so munch Angela after your last video I started to go through all my saved packaging saving and trimming it all down to more unusable sizes, I can see a lot of savings on card stock. I was using some but not nearly enough, just clothing tags recycled. What type of dog do you have I have a Yorkie Poo he goes for grooming tomorrow and shots next month. Loving your tutorial.. For the glue I thin it out a little with nail polish remover just a little really helps TFS Hugs and Smiles

[@AngelaKerrDesigns]

Lori Thielen thank you For your kind words and support. What a great tip. I will get the acetone out right now! I have a small Shih tzu. She is my little angel. I love Yorkers too. My Mum had 3! One of the the little girls only weighed 2 pounds. She was tiny! Thrilled at you saving all the packaging. It is a huge saving on cardstock. Look out for the window boxes, with acetate. I will be using those too. Hope you are having a wonderful 2020 so far! 🤗🌸💗

[@denisegoldsbrough2018]

These are just beautiful Angela. Your ideas are just amazing. I am really looking forward to the next video. I have a question about printing. I have absolutely no idea how you resize and print multiples on one sheet, and it really frustrates me. Is there any way you could do a video explaining this? You are doing the right thing for your little pooch in getting her spayed. Our little dog got cancer in her mammary glands and had to have them removed. The vet told us the only way to avoid this in a female dog, was to spay them as early as possible. The more times they go into season, the more chance of them getting it. Big hugs for your little one. xx

[@AngelaKerrDesigns]

Denise Goldsbrough thank you for your wonderful message Denise. I will try giving a tutorial on this for you. Do you have an Apple Mac or a PC? My dog is my baby and that is why I have gone done that road, as I don’t want to put her through something far worse as you mentioned. Thank you so much for your wonderful support Denise. I appreciate it so much more than you know 🤗🌸💗

@@AngelaKerrDesigns hopefully you have your precious baby back now. Hope she is ok. I have a hp laptop. Thank you so much for replying so quickly. xx

[@AngelaKerrDesigns]

Denise Goldsbrough aww thank you. In the end the vet couldn’t do it today, so I put myself through it for nothing. When I got there she said she would have to reschedule it, due to Abi being in season only 4 weeks ago and apparently it needs to be at least 2 months ago, as it causes haemorrhaging. So we both got a respite until next month 🙄😊

Hi, Angela😊...have really enjoyed all of your videos while you were on holiday❣ Glad you are sharing the wonderful recycling ideas! I have been a subbie of yours since you started on You Tube this year and I just love your style and color choices. So glad to see how you are using the wildflowers on tags etc.~ they are just lovely🌾 When you have a chance, would you please post the number of the wildflower dye that the cover looks different from the other two, as I have those. Do you crinkle all of your ribbon first and keep it in a bag? Do you dye any of your ribbon? If so, would love for you to do a video(in your spare time! lol) Looking forward to more of your amazing videos 🎉 Ella in Florida🌴, USA
